Avenzoariidae
Avenzoariidae is a family of feather mites in the order Astigmata Astigmatina is a clade of mites in the superorder Acariformes. Astigmata has been ranked as an order or suborder in the past, but was lowered to the unranked clade Astigmatina of the clade Desmonomatides (synonym Desmonomata) in the order Sarcopt .... There are at least 15 genera in Avenzoariidae. They are found on the feathers of aquatic birds, and in the case of one species, birds of prey. Genera These 15 genera belong to the family Avenzoariidae: * '' Avenzoaria'' Oudemans, 1905 * '' Bdellorhynchus'' Megnin & Trouessart, 1884 * '' Bonnetella'' Trouessart, 1924 * '' Bregetovia'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Bychovskiata'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Capelloptes'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Hemifreyana'' Gaud & Mouchet, 1959 * '' Laronyssus'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Pomeranzevia'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Pseudavenzoaria'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Rafalskiata'' Mironov & Dabert, 1997 * '' Scutomegninia'' Dubinin, 1951 * '' Zachvatkinia'' Dubinin, 1949 ...

Feather Mite
Feather mites are the members of diverse mite superfamilies: * superorder Acariformes ** Psoroptidia *** Analgoidea *** Freyanoidea *** Pterolichoidea * superorder Parasitiformes ** Dermanyssoidea They are ectoparasites on bird Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweigh ...s, hence the common name.

Astigmata
Astigmatina is a clade of mites in the superorder Acariformes. Astigmata has been ranked as an order or suborder in the past, but was lowered to the unranked clade Astigmatina of the clade Desmonomatides (synonym Desmonomata) in the order Sarcoptiformes. Astigmatina is now made up of the two groups Acaridia and Psoroptidia, which have been suborders of the order Astigmata in the past. Astigmatina contains about 10 superfamilies and 76 families under Acaridia and Psoroptidia. Astigmatina belongs to the Sarcoptiformes, which contains the "biting" Acariformes. Many species are parasites of vertebrates. Most notorious among these are the Psoroptidia, which contain such notable taxa as feather mites and ''Sarcoptes scabiei''. Description Astigmatan mites are usually soft-bodied and white to brownish in colour (rarely tan and well-sclerotised), and range from 0.15 to 2.00 mm in length. They lack stigmatal openings (thus the name of the clade), peritremes or prodorsal Sensillum, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sarcoptiformes
The Sarcoptiformes are an order of Acari comprising over 15,000 described species in around 230 families. Previously it was divided into two suborders, Oribatida and Astigmatina, but Oribatida has been promoted to an order, and Astigmatina is now an unranked taxon.
